The
Democracy Alliance
(DA) is known to consist of at
least 100 members, known as "partners," but historically has been quite
secretive regarding their identities. Nevertheless, the Capital
Research Center has managed to compile the names of some of the more
significant current and former DA partners (in addition to George
Soros and DA founder Rob Stein).1
A large percentage of these partners have significant ties to Soros that extend
well beyond their shared membership in the Democracy Alliance. Among
these partners are the following:

AFL-CIO:
This institutional DA partner is the largest labor federation in
America and was a member of Soros's Shadow
Party in 2004.

Tides Foundation
founder and longtime CEODrummond
Pike has close ties to Soros, who is a major funder of Tides.

Democrat
activist Simon Rosenberg founded the New Policy Institute, a project
of the Tides Foundation.
He also sits on the board of the Soros-funded publication Democracy:
A Journal of Ideas.
And in 1996 he created the New Democrat Network, a
Soros-financed organization committed to pushing the Democratic
Party further leftward.15

Golden West Financial
Corporation founders Herb and Marion Sandler are
philanthropic allies of George Soros
and were heavy funders of Shadow Party organizations in 2004―giving
some $13 million to anti-Bush “527 committees.”16
